Paul Carpenter gives 'Film Quiz' answers and then we see another variation of the regular panel game 'Film Quiz', this one called 'Beat The Expert' - the expert being Peter Noble. The panel consists of actor Patrick Doone, Peggy Mount (looking very glam - like Ethel Merman!), 'Scottie' (hairdresser Alfred Scott) and Anne Burnaby (scriptwriter). They put film questions to Noble. It all looks quite staged and rehearsed. (Film slips out of synch halfway through the quiz.) Carpenter makes link to 'roving reporter' John Parsons.
Reel 3.
John Parsons introduces item on Ingrid Bergman arriving in London to star in 'Anastasia'. Good footage of Ingrid at Victoria Station with her husband Roberto Rossellini. Parsons talks to Bergman but there is no natural sound.
Parsons then interviews American actress Carole Mathews. She gives her impressions of England, and how she has picked up English expressions.
Film star Anita Ekberg and her actor husband Anthony Steele are seen arriving at London Airport (they are just married). David Niven is seen arriving at the airport with his wife, Hjordis. Parsons signs off.
Paul Carpenter makes link to John Fitzgerald, who then gives his weekly movie review (this is duplicate of section in Reel 2 - see separate record). Muir Mathieson and orchestra play 'Die Fleidermaus' overture (dupe from Reel 1).
Adrenaline seekers from the past have left an indelible mark on the Pathe archive. Some were so dangerous they even lost their lives. Here are 10 top daredevils.
Terrorism is nothing new. The Pathe archive has a vast collection of material related to terrorist attacks dating back to 1919 right through to the 2005 London bombings.
The death penalty has been carried out in almost all societies and although these images from WWI and WWII are unsettling, they still provide a raw account of events from a certain time.
The images taken from inside Buchenwald Concentration Camp after its Liberation show us what it was like; it tells us what happened and forces us to remember.
The great politician and orator Winston Churchill left behind a sea of humourous quips and discerning quotes. We remember some of his finest epigrams and witty ripostes.
WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
Over its history, the Pathe cameras filmed a number of people who had committed heinous crimes. So in no particular order, these images show ten faces of truly evil men and women.
